Prospects of Row Over the Maryland
House Appointments.
Baltimore Special
It is settled that Eugene Higgins. ex-appoint-
ment clerk of the United States Treasury De-
partment, will be appointed Chief Clerk OF the
Maryland House Of Delegates. The salary is
5000 for ninety DAYS work, but the Office is
worth about So 600 Senator German fixed the
berth for Higgins long before the latters retire.
menti as appointment clerk of the Treasury.
There is no doubt about Higsins's ability to fill
the position. as he has he'd several years expe-
rience in former Legsl atures. At the same
time he can always be relied upon to do the bid
ding Of the bosses When the slate was made
MP last week. it was also decided to make
Peter j. Campbell, of Boss Raisin's
lieutenants in this city. Speaker of the House
The counties have objected to this as it gives to
Baltimore two of the best Offices in the Legis-
lature. Opinion is divided as to whether the
bosses will make fight to get in their men,
throw Campbell overheard. Certain It is that
Higgins will not be sacrificed. The managers
must have him at Annapolis. Campbell's friends
are indignant. They claim that the managers,
if they please can nominate both Campbsll and
Higgins. Some of them have the temerity to
intimate that Campbell is good Democrat
latter should walk out of one fat Office into
other to the Getriment of others good, if not
better, tn an himself The bosses may provide
for Campbell at the last minute if they reach
the conclusion that they have the power
to do it, but they will never give ND Higgins.
During the session the bosses will endeavor to

them into nominating the last three for judges

any of them. The scheme foot is to
pass bill making the Orphans Court ''surro-

would abolish all the offices in the Orphans
Court Many of the employees in the Office of

Hon. w. ID. FOULKE calls attention to the
false pretense of Superintendent Galbraith,
of the Insane asylum, the evident intention
being to create the impression that
there have been some innovations" in that
institution in the interests Of the unfortu-
nate inmates, and that the present
condition Of affairs is all that could be desired.
DR.. Galbrath stated to the reporters that on
Christmas day there were entertainments
given in the various wards of the patients,
and he spoke as if this was a new thing for
which he is entitled to the credit. AS mat
ter of fact, the custom is a comparatively old
one, and is in no sense an innovation" It
would be an innovation" if the management
of that institution taken out of the hands
of partisans and incompetents, and placed in
the hands of those whose only care would be
to intelligently and faithfully look after the
welfare of the hundreds and thousands of
poor people who there as the unwilling
victims of system and management that has
made the world turn pale when it has read
the sworn story of the outrages and abuses to
which the insane have been, and, possibly
are yet, subjected. There has been no change
in the system or management The same
that fed maggoty butter, and cholera
hogs, and decayed fruit to the patients are still
III charge. The same management that made
it possible for patients to be scalded to death,
and others to be subjected to the foulest
abuses, is still in charge. The same manage
ment that made the hospital the asylum for
charge. A Christmas fete, no matter how
well conceiv ed or carried out can not deceive
the public as to the real facts connected with
the disgraceful and infamous management of
the hospital under the gang that has controlled
and still controls it. No sugar-coated state
ments from officers who are there to do the
bidding of the constituencies gang who coin
money and party advantage out Of the mis-
cries and sutferings of the insane of the State
will have the effect to shut the eyes OF the
people to the necessity of radical and sweep
ing reform. Governor Gray confessed that
the present management was unworthy of
public confidence by a feeble and sickly at
tempt to remove the trustees from Office, and
the people will not stop until the work the
Governor affected to begin is not only COM
pleted, but the system radically changed
that it will not be possible to merely exchange
one set of party cormorants for another and
call it reform. The system will be reformed,
and it will be reformed altogether.

WRITER IN the Critic, who has been
investigating the condition of Indian schools,
says:
IAN official in the Indian office said
recently that in making appointments in the
Indian service, Democrats are invariably
selected That is the key to the entire
administration of the Indian service on the
reservations by the Office at Washington.
The effect upon the efficiency of the schools has
been precisely what any intelligent man
would expect l have examined the condition
of the service on nearly one-third of the
reservations of the country within the last
eighteen months, and, so far as l have seen,
the equipment of the government schools is
generally not so good, in the qualifications
and work of the teachers, as 1t two
three years ago There have been a few
good appointments, and many very poor ones.
Some of the industrial teachers sent out in
the employ of the government to help civilze
the red people themselves less civilized
than the average savage Indian. Some of the
best teachers in the service two years ago have
been removed. l know of no objection to
teachers being a Democrat, but he should
possess some additional qualifications. if he is
to be sent to teach Indians. 1t is curious to
see the business of Indian education almost
wholly in the hands of men who until the
last two or three years, never knew much
about education or about Indians"
1t is rough on the Indians to appoint
illiterate Democrats as their teachers, but it
may prove very beneficial to the latter
Heretofore the Indians have been regarded as
very useless creatures, but if they can be
made means of elevating the Democracy
they will have proved their right to live.

THE public has heard great deal about
Dan Lannon'S modesty; it has also heard that
he is very important part of the administra-
ton, the brains of the concern, in short.
Whether hattery has spoiled the private Sec
rotary, or whether the rumor as to his gigan-
tic intellect was never founded on fact, there
is evidence that for some reason he is no long
willing to humbly hide his personality be-
hind that of his chief. There is, for instance,
no phenomenal modesty perceptible in the
following telegram, sent to the son of the late
Secretary Manning:
''The President and all the members of the
cabinet and myself reach Albany by the
West Shore at a. NJ, tomorrow, and will go
at once to the executive mansion. We re-
turn by the West Shore at $50 p II
'.DANIEL S. LAMONT"
It is plain from this that Daniel no longer
chooses to hide his light under bushel and
has resolved that when myself goes abroad
the world shall know it. The President will
do well to keep an eye on his hitherto silent
partner, and check any tendency to assume
undue prominence IN the combination.
